The Towering Inferno…..London’s Burning…!!!

The Towering Inferno…..London’s Burning…!!!

By Andrew Crawford

Unlike the classic movie that starred the likes of Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Fred Astaire, Robert Wagner, Faye Dunaway, Robert Vaughn, Richard Chamberlain and OJ Simpson……this was REAL…!!

What started the fire in the movie ‘The Towering Inferno’?….a Scorched wire from a burnt out circuit breaker.

What started the devastating fire in London today? Someone mentioned a fridge many others witnessed the fast spreading fire eating up the floors as it raced from the origin to the top of the high-rised flats. Clearly the material used accelerated the speed of the flames.

Did you see the building after the fire was extinguished??

In my humble opinion, it looks like more than the 6 people that the media has reported, have lost their lives. I await further details.

No sprinklers, no exit strategy, apparently no fire doors. Eight times warnings had been dismissed.

Somebodies head has got to roll. Just wait until the fingers start pointing and the blame passed around.

There are many intriguing aspects to this one….we will see it unfold  for a couple of weeks until it is conveniently swept under the carpet and replaced by another story…!!!!

So Andrew,

What has the Towering Inferno got to do with Accountancy & Tax?

Well….It’s all to do with Repairs & Maintenance.

During the course of your business there may come a time when you need to splash out on major repairs, buildings works or transferring the garden shed into a studio.

You must take care to differentiate between repairs & maintenance work which are claimable and those that are not.

There are 2 categories: Capital & Revenue

Finally

If you can help at all, there are now homeless people who are in need of provisions.

In a strange twist of fate, it was reported that Muslims, who were still awake after breaking their Ramadan fast, saved a lot of lives from the Towering Inferno. 

They were the heroes.
